Lee we have a similar experience with the step/fill issue! We now have a massive step off our alfresco and laundry that in our plan is level with the ground!? They also excavated into the back neighbours land by about a metre and not only is he cranky but now we need to retain it as it is so deep and created a massive hole! Why they would excavate so far from the house footprint seems weird to us. But not being knowledgable in this sort of stuff and first time builders you feel kind of railroaded. Seems that taking responsibility for it and other mistakes is an on going battle. I totally know what it feels like to be made to feel stupid/annoying when things that were stipulated in the tender and plans aren't done accordingly or completely missed altogether. It's so frustrating! Makes you wonder if it's your home sometimes not to mention the amount of money we've spent to have the things and finish we want. I've never once wanted anything more other than I've paid/stipulated for so why they make you feel that way is beyond me! The dryer noggin it's such a simple thing! I don't feel comfortable hanging it without it. What if it falls off! I may have to put mine in the garage but we don't have windows in there for ventilation. I'm going to have a proper read of your thread!
Sorry to hear you're having issues too with the site cut! Cutting into your neighbour's yard is not cool. I hope your builder is paying to rectify it!
My husband said there is something you can get to reinforce the wall for the dryer. It was just easier and more efficient for Clarendon to do it at build stage. I'll let you know what the solution is and post pics for you once hubby installs the dryer because I don't have a clue what he is talking about
